A woman who is beautiful and sexy is not a sex kitten. Beyond the misogyny of the term, its meaning is not so general. I also haven't heard anyone use it within my lifetime -- the only place I've seen or heard it is from 50s and early 60s stuff. But then this is Laurell K. Hamilton; expecting her to either realize it is the 21st century or to understand words would be foolish.

Also "stud puppy" sounds like a kind of fish to me for some reason.

Plus, a puppy cannot be a stud BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO BREED GAH.

Yep, just like kittens can't have sex. But "stud" when talking about animals has a very specific meaning, making her brilliant new term even grosser, or maybe it just sounds grosser because I'm not acclimated to it. In any case, we already call hot men "studs", or used to not very long ago anyway (I am not hep to the lingo of the groovy Tumblr kids these days), so... why is "puppy" necessary? Besides that LKH has a thing for combining sex and immaturity, like Sesame Street tattoos and Anita fucking someone she's the guardian of and going to his PTA meetings and etc. Okay, answered my own question.

I'm surprised more of the very powerful ancient supernatural beings in her books don't have cutesy names actually. "Auggie"? I mean REALLY? I expect Occy and Sammy and all the others will soon join her adorbs ickle harem in time.

Why can't a man be a cat? My cat is male.

But, but, cats are girls and puppies are boys. That's just the way of the world. 0.0

[rodentfanatic]

Oh...my...god...what?

What?

Is she high?

Also this reminds me of how my mom thinks all dogs are boys and all cats are girls. We had our dog for 13 years and my mom always called her a "he"

[ext_1626743]

Is she high?

I wonder that whenever she says anything. Except when she's dwelling on something that makes her emo, like "bleeding on my keyboard." Then I wonder if she's drunk. But I don't think she touches any substances stronger than chamomile tea. I think she's just flippin' weird, and not in good ways.

[guardians_song]

I wouldn't put it past her to be so stuck in her ways that even her trips aren't creative.

We'll see with the Merry book. Those always did seem a bit trippier than the Anita line.

... Why are cats and dog gendered like this in her mind? Considering "[her] gender bias is pretty nonexistiant" as she claimed on Twitter this week, it's especially odd.
(Okay, maybe this post was mostly to talk about that statment. I've been arm flailing about it all week)

[ravens_shadow]

She said that? I am agog.

[suzycat]

I think she honestly believes this is how she thinks because she is a lady who yet likes guns and lifting weights.

[ext_1626743]

That's the funniest thing I've read in days. LKH thinks she doesn't have a gender bias.

[wanderingworlds]

I've... called a guy "puppy" before, but it had nothing to do with being handsome or sexy. It was more because he was cute and cuddly like one.

Now that nickname feels sullied.

[cheeky_duckie]

This. I've used "like a puppy" to describe a dude who has been acting adorable, affectionate, and/or enthusiastic -- but not generally in a sexy way. It feels gross to apply to sex. D:
